Regular Season Round 19: Saitama Bron. - Iwate Big Bulls 72-88
Date: December 9, 2012
Very expected game when 10th ranked Saitama Broncos (2-12) lost at home to first ranked Iwate Big Bulls (13-5) 88-72 on Sunday. It was a very close game until the last quarter, when Iwate Big Bulls's pressure prevailed and they won that period 23-13 extending their advantage to 16 points. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Iwate Big Bulls made 7 blocks. It was a very good performance for American forward Carlos Dixon (201-81, college: Virginia Tech, agency: Top Notch Sports) who helped to win the game recording 18 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. His fellow American import center Dillion Sneed (203-84, college: E.Tenn.St., agency: Top Notch Sports) contributed with 20 points and 6 rebounds (on 9-of-11 shooting from the field) for the winners. Four Iwate Big Bulls players scored in double figures. Iwate Big Bulls' coach Dai Oketani used an eleven-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. point guard Takuma Yamashiro (167-85) answered with a double-double by scoring 25 points and 24 rebounds and American forward Dameion Baker (192-78, college: Mount Olive) added 14 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in the effort for Saitama Broncos. Iwate Big Bulls maintains first place with 13-5 record. Saitama Broncos lost fifth consecutive game. They dropped to the ninth position with 12 games lost. Iwate Big Bulls will have a break next round. Saitama Broncos will play on the road against Toyama Grouses (#4).
